The Buzz on Paradox
2005 has been the best year in Paradox' history and it looks like we will be able to look forward to an even better 2006. We are still growing and developing our business in an industry that is suffering from a hangover after several years of what looked like never-ending growth. Not only do we sign titles from experienced and well-known teams, but we are also learning to be better in our own publishing and production efforts.
It is also great to see that others appreciate what we do. I found one example browsing through Gamespot last week, where a gamer posted a comprehesive list of all promising PC games slated for 2006 release". By "promising" the author meant games with big chances of scoring at least AA, while extremely small chances of scoring below 7.
Out of the five games Paradox will publish during the first 6 months 2006, all five made it on to the list. Lists like these and feedback from many other parties in the industry are indicators that we are constantly strengthening our position as one of the leading strategy games publishers. However, it is important to stress that we are not striving to be the biggest publisher out there, our main goal is to publish the games we like and that we know our fans will like.
An extract from the list (with user comments):
Rush for Berlin
From Stormregion (makers of Panzers, which got 8.8 here)
Hearts of Iron 2: Doomsday
An add-on to 8.3 game
Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords
Sequel to best space-based 4X game in recent years (8.4 from GS)
Heart of Empire: Rome
A city-building game by DeepRed(makers of Monopoly Tycoon, also a city-builder (which scored 8.5 at GS)
Take Command:2nd Manassas
Sequel to Bull's Run. Which is considered the best civil war game ever made. It got Wargamer's 5 stars and award of excelence, Gamezone rated it 8.5. ComputerGamesMagazine called it "one of the most dramatic wargames you'll ever play".
Keeping in mind that we have have only presented titles for the first six months so far, it looks like we will have a great 2006 indeed...
